So here's the deal. The good people at
Whooga offered to send me a pair of sheepskin boots. And I rail against wearing these things in public fairly regularly. And, in fact,
I stand by those railings. They're called Uggs because they're UGLY. And unflattering, too! What a fantastic combo.
However, I wear sheepskin
slippers around my drafty built-in-1925 bungalow all through the Minnesota winter, and they keep me from losing my tootsies to frostbite. And the prospect of trading in my meager, now-threadbare slips for sheepskin up to my knees? Well, it was hard to resist THAT.
I landed a review pair of the
Chestnut Sheepskin Classic Tall boots, and have worn them many times since their arrival. However,these boots will pretty much only be worn with the gooftastic PJ pants shown in the above photo. And they will mainly be worn when I'm doing this:

And for this? They are bliss. Soft and squishy and warm and delightful. I am cold all the time - even when Simon Kitty is purring in my lap - but I think these boots will help keep me from shivering as I type. They're a bit of an investment for a house shoe, but if you consider cost-per-wear, they're well worth it. And it really does make a huge difference trading in slippers that barely reach my ankles for knee-high boots. I'm not sure I've ever felt cozier.
Will I ever wear them to run to the grocery store? Not a chance. Will I wear them every day after work as I putter around the house? Most definitely.
Well, until summer anyway ...
